This park is difficult for big rigs to maneuver and back into sites. Don't arrive in the DARK! Have to ask neighbors to move vehicles so you can back in. Don't take the 'assigned' spot they offer-ask for a listing of available sites and go look at the path to each and verify you can get into/open sides at sites. We requested 50 amp-the only site they offered us with 50 was too tight. The park had 'closed for season' sections but there were well over 3/4 of the open sections available. Cement Picnic tables were awful. Huge price increase from last year: $58 to $84. When asked why such an increase was told it was to 'keep the riff raff out' and that 'big rig owners had no problem paying it'. We are not Thousand Trail members, with the unprofessional behavior of staff of this very worn out campground wouldn't even consider joining. The only good thing about this park is location. Too bad it's so user unfriendly and expensive. We will keep looking for 'better' parks when returning to this area. - Ramblin-Roll

This is our first stay at a Thousand Trails campground and was quite disturbed by a LOUD karaoke party that went until 9:30. Talked to the manager the next morning and he let me know that it was the employee end of season party. He said Thousand Trails is known for its concerts and parties and folks really like it. Other than this experience and a very slow check-in process, our stay was OK. The campground is very large and the sites are spacious and wooded, but there is no privacy. Some sites have fire rings, other sites have grills. - Mksea

This campground had excellent reviews. We have a 43' Class A. We reserved a "Premium" site ~ however, not every "Premium" site has 50 amp service which was shocking! There are 50 amp sites, but those must be reserved previously which is not clear on their website and reservation site. Tragically we visited here during a very hot week. We had 4" on either side of our slideouts. It took nearly 15 minutes to park. The park does not provide parking service. You are pretty much on your own. All sights are dirt. Some have wood chips, but otherwise dirt. You will need a carpet if you want to sit outside. THERE IS NO WIFI ~ unless you want to pay $6 per day. The sites are heavily wooded, so no satellite. Cable was intermittent. Very. Very disappointed. Most campers are TT or tents. - Carolina Ventana

We wouldn't stay here again. I've never posted a bad review in all our years of travel trailering. Made our reservation on line in August for October visit, but cannot complete reservation payment on line. You have to call them on phone to make a payment. We were told there was a new owner. Upon arrival, the gas station there has been closed, so no fueling up. The access driveways are very narrow and there are two narrow concrete pads on each site for the tires. We had to jockey the truck and trailer to get them both on the concrete pads on each side. They have large gravel rocks all over that are difficult to walk on. I backed up a step on the pavement and almost fell when my foot rolled on one of the large pieces of gravel. Their web site lists cable TV as an amenity. Don't be fooled. You have to make a $75 refundable deposit and then you are given a baggie with four cords and a remote and some not so great hookup instructions. After 3 trips to the office with questions about the cable hookup process, we gave up and returned it all. The office staff admitted other customers sometimes have difficulty with their cable TV hookups too. No cable TV for our 3 night stay there. I asked for a discount because we just couldn't get the cable hooked up and was told the owner was out of town. The office staff then told us the cable TV was "optional". Never heard back from them on a discount for no cable TV service. We also noticed on many of the sites that the shade trees had been cut down. On the plus side, they offer free donuts in the morning, the bathrooms were clean and there is shopping close by. However, that's not enough to get us to come back. There are other alternative RV parks close by in Carson City and Minden that we will stay at for future trips. - SierraBear

OK park close to the Lake Tahoe area. Check in was good and we were led to our site - the parking is a bit strange since there are 2 concrete strips you have to line up the rig to - not always an easy task with a 43' class A but we made it work. Sites are coarse gravel but we just put our large mat down and it was fine. dog parks also have the same gravel and our pup was not too thrilled with that part. Had propane so we filled up our tank - that was very handy as we were running a bit low. Had no issues with electric at all and it was hot and we ran 3 AC. - dreger

Disappointed is perhaps the best way to describe our stay here. I understand that the park is under new ownership and efforts are supposedly in place to improve the facility, but until then I have to give Silver City resort a "do not recommend" rating. When we made our reservations by phone, we explained that we were over 60' in combined length and needed to keep our trailer connected as that is how we charge a mobility cart. We told them that our RV was a 43' class A that had to have 50A electrical supply, no exceptions. We were told that the pull thru sites were all 65' long with 50A available. So, imagine our surprise upon arrival to find out that the site we needed was unavailable as the owner was putting his RV there. Not even remotely true. The owner is off property and was not expected. Then they found a site that would be just fine. Not even close. Our coach is 43', the site has only 44' useable space as the parking pad drops off too steeply to be even remotely useable. They told us we could keep the trailer hooked up and let it hang over into the parking lot since we were an end space and the trailer would not block anything. Then the people at registration inform me that we could not run any more than two a/c units as they have insufficient power and "too many big rigs" at the campground to provide sufficient power to everyone. The daily temperatures were 96 to 99 degrees. Unacceptable. We were then told that the site we were to occupy really shouldn't even be used because of the chronic electrical issues there. We pulled in since that was all they had available after screwing up our reservation. The power "browns out" with one a/c on. We've had to use the generator to keep cool. - rick r

I might have rated this campground a little too high according to some of my fellow RV'ers, but ratings are based on experience and I had a very good experience . First of all we're 65 foot long with the car trailer, the lady at the front desk was very very efficient got us in and out of there in no time we parked up the hill on an outside spot and are turning radius for getting out was probably the best you could expect in a park that is in some areas very tight. As far as cleanliness in this park has a lot of what I call work campers people that are staying here extended time not permanent but you're working in the area and leave early come in late and do their thing and the park is maintained very well you wouldn't know it and less you were aware that this was going on. Truthfully I had not been back to this park in over 25 years it has made some drastic improvements . Did not use the laundry room or the bathrooms but everything appeared from the outside very tidy and neat looking the asphalt was very clean it just had a well-kept appearance . I would stay here again if in the area I always used the gold dust when in the area but I would stay here instead. - monaco cruiser

Good park with sloping sites. I almost had to use blocks as the side to side slant was just about near the end of my stabilizing jacks. Power was good and the road noise was ok. - cherib

This is a large RV park and set up quite nicely with shade trees all over. Interior roads are asphalt and the space we had was pretty level gravel. Had good shade and it was plenty long for our 37' motor home and tow vehicle. We enjoyed our 2 night stay here and visited the casino across the street having 3 good meals there at reasonable prices. We will definitely stay here again. - We3Travel

I have a 43' class A Motorhome. I told them that when I made the reservation. I happened to drive by the park and decided to check out the place and was extremely glad I did! There was NO Way I'd of been able to fit in there. It's very small. Very tight spaces. Narrow roads. Full of weeds and big overgrown trees. I didn't even check in. I immediately cancelled my reservation. That was a week before I was to arrive. They called me the day after my arrival date saying I was a late check in and charged my card. I argued with them about the charge and they did finally reverse it but that took another week. How this place got a Good Sam rating of 10. 8. 8. I will NEVER understand. - Holzie

Sites are very close together. Outside space is pretty much unusable if you have a neighbor. Pull-through sites aren't long enough, so we had to unhook and park on an angle. Restrooms were very clean and spacious. 'Dog Walk' was pathetic and consisted of urine-soaked, stinky dirt in a tiny run. No way I'd let my dogs near it. There aren't good dog walking options in and around the park. Check-in is at the casino hotel. - summergames84

This was our third stay at Gold Dust West. The 'park' (small lot behind a casino/hotel) is functional and clean. The pull thru sites are too small for a 40' 5th wheel and tow vehicle. Our two previous stays were with a 34' 5th wheel with no problems. This time, however, we had to work our way slowly out and still did some damage to our vehicle. We will not return. - Emcee

Nice clean park in north Carson City with asphalt roads and gravel spaces. Well kept and maintained. Staff is great. Quiet park. Wish the spaces were paved as the gravel is large coarse and rough to walk on. Hard on our old dog's feet. Great value. We stayed in our 40' Monaco pusher. - subiedude

April29 Camp-N-Town, Carson City, Nevada 147 plus sites, $37.96 with Good Sam This campground is located on Carson Street in Carson City, Nevada. There are a lot of sites here and many of them look like permanent sites. The sites are average and most seem to be pull throughs with full hookups and cable (cable has just been changed and now you need a box). The woman at checkin was really nice. The bathhouse was clean and the showers were nice but you need to leave $5 for a deposit to use them and when you return the key you get your money back. What this campground has going for it is that it is in town near the historic district. We walked down about a mile to the Capitol and it's grounds. Nice Capitol and surrounding buildings. The campground was very quiet considering all the RV's camping here. - gsnakehill

This is your typical urban RV park: close sites, parking-lot style, with about half full-timers. The facilities are fine and (very) close to shopping. All that is tolerable because one does not come to places like this for the ambience; one comes into places like this when I need to get business accomplished. So one of the things I look for is WiFi. They advertise this, take your money, even give you a password. But the signal is nonexistent--not strong enough to hold onto. When I asked for another site that had better reception, I was told the signal and equipment were iffy. When asked for a refund, so I could leave and go to a park that had signal, I was refused.

Great park. Paved sites & roads. Trees and some shade. A bit tight, but we got our 33 foot fifth wheel into the site and our truck is parked right in front of it. It's no tighter than most parks. Excellent service. Great WiFi and Verizon signal. Beautiful views. We are able to use the hotel pool and work out room. Nice casino with 3 eateries. Excellent location for visiting Tahoe. We love it here and will return. - Arizona Nancy

As other people have said, the roads and parking are very tight in this park. Our 25ft motorhome just fit into our site and our car had to be parked in the casino parking lot. Otherwise, the park is very clean and well cared for. There are small grass areas at each site and most have trees. There is a very small, but clean dog area. We were there for a weekend. I would stay again if I had to be down in that area during the summer when I would need the air conditioner, but I wouldn't go out of my way to stay here. - roadie gal

As other reviews have said, this park is attached to the Carson Valley Casino and is a very clean older park. The roadways and sites are all asphalt paved, but most of the sites are humped and leveling can be a slight challenge. The major drawback to this park is the interior roads are very, very tight and with people parking in front of their RVs maneuvering can be tricky. We had to have one person move a car just to make a corner. In spite of the big rig access, this park is not big rig friendly. We could barely make it in a 40' motorhome, which then totally filled the site front to back. For smaller rigs this is a good spot but I wouldn't recommend it for larger rigs, either motorhome or trailer. - Lt Dan

I had booked a pull thru space (almost 8 months ago) and when I arrived, was put in a back in space (173). I have a 37 foot RV so I request a level pull thru for specific reasons. Space 173 was not level (even with RV jacks pushed to the full capacity), was not wide enough to put my slide out or have much room to walk out of the RV or sit outside. The water spigot leaked so bad that staff wrapped a towel around it. Water was running into the road and other campsites. It was pretty embarrassing when passerbys would stop and look at this river. I went out and turned the water off many times, just so we didn't have to deal with it. After trying to make this site work, I went to the office to see if they could move me. I talked to the manager on duty the next day and she was able to move me to another back in space (not a pull thru which I originally reserved). She was helpful with how many issues she was dealing with the long line of other campers with issues. This new space was not even close to being level either. I had to put the slide out and jacks down as I had 5 friends with me and needed the space inside. I ended up having a wheel bearing oil leak due to the site being so extremely un-level and so much pressure being put on one side of the RV jacks. This RV park needs to be revamped. The spaces need to be made level and the maintenance issues need to be addressed. Each space needs to be evaluated. Each RV'er in a space should be asked if there are issues that could be addressed. - Scott F

Warning: This Park has very narrow roadways, tight turns, is heavily treed and the paved RV spots are all sloped. Would not consider it suitable for rigs over 36'. Almost every tree has scars from RV's and campers; it's almost impossible to avoid hitting or scraping one if you are forced to drive completely thru the park as we were. The first spot we were assigned was flanked on the entry and exit with two large trees making for a very narrow entry or exit. Told management we could not swing our 42' rig in there due to the confined opening and sharp turn required. The were able to assign us another location, but due to the serious slope it took quit awhile to find a way to park our rig so we could level. Saw many other Class A and Class C with wheels off the ground and serious leveler shoring. - Oh2See

We stayed 4 nights. Since we arrived a day earlier than planned we had a different campsite the first night than we did the other three nights. The sites were close together in the middle of the park but we then moved up on the hill. Very nice site, quiet and more space between sites. Nice campground with lots of trees. - prmin

Great CG, plenty of room between sites, quiet, bargain priced. No extra charge for toad. No hookups but there is a dump station with water available and there are several water spigots available in the CG. Each site has a shade structure over the picnic table. Originally signed in for two nights just in case it wasn't satisfactory but ended up staying 7 nights (the maximum allowed in a 30 day period) as we explored the Carson City area. Lake Tahoe and Reno are each about 30 minutes away making this an excellent base camp. - JohninSanDiego

Beautiful campground and for the beginning of March it was not very crowded with only about 12 sites taken. There were even people tent camping and the rain did not scare them off. The lake is full and the scenery is magnificent! Very quiet campground and very relaxing, as dry camping should be. - Jeeperlee

There were plenty of sites available when we got there around 8:30 in the evening. The ranger station was closed, so we put the overnight fee in an envelope and dropped it in the indicated spot. The envelopes tell you how to make out a check if you want to do that. Even though it was July, the temperatures were reasonable in the evening. There are two loops; we stayed in the 2nd one since it was the first one we saw. The rest room building has a shower but the door for it doesn't have a label. The spots were level, there were some trees and a lot of scrub and jackrabbits, and picnic areas with roofs over them to keep off the sun. - vroecker

This is a typical Federal campground with one big plus: it is right on Lake Tahoe with a very nice sandy beach. This campground underwent a major renovation last year with newly paved, expanded sites. Sites are reasonably level and have a fire ring, BBQ and large table. There is a two tier price system. Those sites closest to the lake, designated as “Lake” in Reserve America and Recreation.gov, are $34 per night. Those a little further away, designated “FORE” for forest, are $30 per night. Many of the forest sites have good views of the lake through the pines, however. There are a couple of good hiking/biking paths leading through the adjacent forest and meadows. Bathrooms have flush toilets but no showers are available. Good cell service. No Wi-Fi, although I picked up a signal from a near-by hotel that did not require a password but I was unable to connect. My air card worked fine. Because of the trees, satellite reception will depend on your site. The two campground hosts do an outstanding job of keeping everything clean and tidy. Ordinarily I do not give a dry camping campground higher than 8 stars but the location outweighs the even the lack of showers. - Arn

I very seldom get to post back to back reviews specially when they're 9 to 11 months apart . But let me just say this, coming from Reno area where I had to pay at the Grand Sierra what I had to pay and resort fees it completely takes the fun out of what you're therefore, this lodge is a short term stay for anybody passing through yet it has 50 amp power it does have water if you need to fill your tank there is no dump, but remember it's just here for short term stay. For some reason the traffic wasn't as bad this time as the last time we visited not sure if the gravel/road repair yard across the street was not in full swing but it was more quiet , but I will say this you better have your nights sleep in by 7 o'clock in the morning because the traffic does get cranked up and it does get noisy. Another thing I noticed this time is there was more people here, the lodge said that the campground's five spots have been pretty much booked all summer . I will say this when you are backing into the spots make sure you have a good spotter the spots are kind of pie shaped and it is possible to get closer to your neighbor than you should be when backing in be careful. We definitely would stay here again . - monaco cruiser

Very nice place to stay for elks members only . I agree with previous post the traffic on Kemmerling is getting more used during the daytime very very busy there seems to be a gravel yard across the street that trucks are continuously running from seven in the morning till 3 o'clock this goes on six days a week at least this was my observation how long this goes on through the year can't tell you . The RV parking is set up very nice we actually backed in with a 22 foot enclosed trailer the only thing the sprinklers washed the trailer early in the morning but that was OK we did not have to unhook. Electrical hook up was nice 50 amp was a plus specially if you were there in the summer time were you needed to run air believe me it would be hot, there is no trees to shade. We attended a breakfast at the lodge on Sunday was excellent very very good I would stay here again but definitely bring earplugs there is still some traffic noise at night if you can park away from the street as far as possible is a plus, motorhomes or trailers between you and the street might create a little bit of a buffer on noise. We camped here in a motorhome for members only . - monaco cruiser

This is a new Elks lodge and features 5 electric-only back-in sites at the front of their parking lot near the street entrance. Self-registration. AC voltage was good. The grounds were exceptionally clean and well manicured. If needed, water can be obtained from a lawn spigot near the edge of the RV parking sites, but no sewer dump is available here. There's some noise from Kimmerling Rd. out front during the day (which is surprisingly busy) but it's quiet at night. Verizon had a strong signal and AT&T medium signal strength here. This is a good place for a quick overnight stop and we'll definitely stay again.
